Q: Powermac G5 to Apple Studio Display 17"

Hiya,

 

I purchased a Power Mac G5 a couple of days ago and today i purchased an Apple Studio Display 17" Monitor.

Ive connected the Power Mac G5 with the Apple Studio Display 17" Monitor with the ADC adaptor that came with the Studio Display Monitor.

When i turn the Power Mac G5 on, the "On button" or power button in the bottom right hand corner on the Studio Display Monitor turns yellow but the monitor itself doesnt turn on. I can't seem to get the Studio Display Monitor to turn on so i get the Apple screen. If i press the yellow button or hold it down it turns the Power Mac off.

 

Just want to know what im doing wrong or if i havent got a certain connector.

 

Thank you

    You don't need ADC to DVI adapter, if your Studio Display has ADC connector cable.

    I've been using 23inch ADC Studio Display to connect G5 with connecting G5's ADC port to monitor's ADC connector cable which just works fine.

    USB hub of monitor doesn't work, though.
